The Grand Thrift House is the home of vintage items, nostalgia and kitsch in Manila. They have several old copies of Wakasan (the dramatic comic magazine made by Carlo J. Caparas) and other discontinued Filipino comic magazines. It is a very interesting shop -- you need to have an eye for what is valuable to cut through the clutter.

Heima is one of the indie stores that recently opened in Cubao eXpo. It provides homey, classy, contemporary designs described as "heimish". The store name is said to be Icelandic for "at home". It showcases weird and bold color combinations that work, and different shapes and patterns that provide a warm ambiance. Perhaps the most coveted items in Heima are the call-out shelves on the second floor (the My Apartment showroom).

Enjoy Card is releasing a Holiday Booklet on or before December 1, 2009 containing additional deals with additional merchant partners. This booklet will be released for FREE to existing Enjoy Card Holders so this is already inclusive of the P1,495 that you paid for. (Awesome!)

I want to challenge potential merchant partners to come up with the BEST ENJOY MERCHANT BARGAIN EVER! The best deal receives a One (1) month Professional Blogging and Internet Marketing Consultancy from me at least worth P70,000.

Check out the Biggest Bargain Blog for Bargains you surely don't want to miss! I tried to collect the awesome ones and some cool Christmas Campaigns on the internet. Please share with me your biggest bargain secret in Manila! Email me at anton@diaz.ph.

I'm doing a soft launch of The Biggest Bargain Blog (BBB). I'm separating all my blog posts about Manila's best bargains and deals in the BBB Blog. This is where I also put some of my commercial posts and attractive promotions from different companies that are worth mentioning.

If you noticed, I'm launching sub-blogs under the Our Awesome Planet franchise. As promised, I am keeping the Main OAP blog focused on Food and Travel Secrets. You can subscribe separately for The Biggest Bargain blog. I also put a link on the right sidebar for easy access to the blog.

Please feel free to let me know if you have feedback or other suggestions.

We just launched our virtual Garage Sale -- www.ourawesomeplanet.com/sale/.
It is an online site for selling our personal things, prizes that we don't need and second hand belongings. We first publish it here, one month before selling them on eBay to give priority to OAP friends who might be interested with the items.

I just came from the Ultimate Ilocos Norte Trip which included surfing sessions in Blue Lagoon. While I'm getting back to the blogging grove again, I don't want you to miss five (5) four (4) awesome sale events that are happening in Manila this coming week.

I was not planning to post this anymore but a lot of recent OAP readers requested me to post the next Big Garment Sale. They are not giving out invites anymore since they already issued membership cards as the gate pass for this sale. We love this sale but we try to avoid it because of the crowd and we always end up charging 5 digits to our credit card.
